‘Nobody to Blame for Sudanese Deaths’
Yeah. Just forget about them. Just a bunch of Africans. Lots more where they came from. They don't feel pain like we do. They don't mind being dead...
The death of Sudanese migrants killed when police evicted them from a Cairo park last week was “very sad” but nobody was to blame, the spokeswoman for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees said yesterday. Astrid Von Gendren Stort told a press conference that the UN agency had asked the Egyptian government to bring the park protest to an end, but without resorting to force. On Friday, squads of riot police evicted more than a thousand Sudanese migrants from a small park where they had camped for three months in a protest against what they saw as the UN agency’s failure to help resettle them. After showering the squatters with water canon and negotiating with their leaders, the police stormed the park swinging truncheons.

#3 UN. Lower than snake shit - and worth less.

This is astonishing cowardice. You're absolutely right, MSN-b. Had the US been involved in any way, it would've been wall-to-wall condemnation, press conferences without end, and months of BS MSM gloating. Since the perps were Muzzies, well now, "we" must be sensitive and all that shit.

Assholes.

#4 The protestors did too good a job embarrassing the UN agency. Nothing to see here.

#5 Yes of course Commissioner Von Gendren Stort, we are all very well aware that words like blame, accountability, and responsibility are all four letter words at the UN.
